    Have you seen the fights or are you just basing it on what Tunney said?

    Perhaps you didn't read my post closely.
    I just relayed the objective facts that EVERYONE is agreed upon. The official results. No interpretatons of other people's interpretations. Just the raw facts out of the record book, plus a nod towards Greb being generally considered greater.
    Again :

    Two of the Greb-Tunney fights were no-decisions.
    Two were decisions for Tunney.
    One was a decision for Greb.

    So, it's 2-1 for Tunney, and 2 no decisions.
    I haven't see any of these fights so I cannot say anything much about the merits of the verdicts.

    Tunney was the bigger man by quite a significant amount. Pound-for-pound Greb is generally considered greater by boxing historians, for what it's worth.

    You have to agree with everything in my post, so I don't know what you're trying to correct. You offered your interpretation of where the results could be changed, and I'm merely asking whether that is based on what you see, or what you read (or both) ?

    Nothing I wrote was remotely Tunney-biased.
